Temperature Modeling Analysis for Milling of Titanium Alloy

Abstract

Titanium alloy is finding increased application in aeronautical, automobile and structural applications. During post processing of titanium alloy, milling is one of the mostly used machining processes. In this study, the relationship between temperature and milling parameters was developed by response surface methodology (RSM), and a temperature model for milling titanium alloy is proposed. The model is found to be adequate through ANOVA. The result indicates that the increase in cutting speed and feed rate increases the temperature. The radial depth of cut and depth of cut do not show a general trend on temperature in milling of titanium alloy.
